Immunizations

The Health Center offers immunizations to Cypress College students, faculty and staff.  We provide immunizations for Tetanus and Hepatitis B.

The procedure is simple.  If you request an immunization, once you sign in you are given an informational flyer about that particular immunization.  You are then required to read the flyer, answer a few basic health questions and, if there are no problems or contraindications, the immunization is administered.  If you have experienced a severe reaction to an immunization in the past, we will be unable to immunize you at the Health Center.  You will then be referred to a physician.  The fee scale for immunizations is listed below.

TETANUS:   Cost   No Charge for students; $18.00 for staff
Most people receiving Tetanus shots come in needing only one injection, the infamous booster shot.  Once given, it is good for 10 years.

HEPATITIS B: Cost $30.00 per injection
The Hepatitis B series consists of 3 injections; the initial injection, a second injection 1 (one) month later and a third injection 6 (six) months later.

FLU SHOTS:   Cost   No Charge for students; $15.00 for staff

Flu shots are administered in the fall/winter season, usually from October to December. Watch for alerts prior to flu season.
